Abstract:
A method for the preparation of semipermeable membranes which comprises sulfonating porous membranes of acrylonitrile polymers containing acrylonitrile in an amount of 40% to 100% by mole.The resulting semipermeable membrane is very useful for separating substances by reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration.
Abstract:
Reduction of yellowing and improvement of impact strength are obtained during the processing of nitrile polymers when said polymers are heated to a plastic state in the presence of an inert gas, thereby excluding oxygen.

Abstract:
The present invention provides heat-expanded microspheres having high packing efficiency, and a production method thereof. The heat-expanded microspheres are produced by expanding heat-expandable microspheres, which comprise shell of thermoplastic resin and a blowing agent encapsulated therein having a boiling point not higher than the softening point of the thermoplastic resin and have an average particle size from 1 to 100 micrometer, at a temperature not lower than their expansion initiating temperature, and the heat-expanded microspheres result in a void fraction not higher than 0.70.
Abstract:
A method for bonding high acrylonitrile copolymers to themselves comprises using certain organic solvents, such as an epoxide, as bonding agents.
Abstract:
A method for imparting creep stabilization to a shaped article fabricated from an amorphous nitrile thermoplastic resin having a first glass transition temperature wherein the article is humidified to a moisture content of at least 1% and the glass transition temperature of the resin is lowered to a second glass transition temperature and the article while in a humidified state is heated to a temperature of 1* to 15*C below the second glass transition temperature for at least 0.5 hour.
Abstract:
OLEFINIC NITRILE POLYMERS, SUCH AS POLYACRYLONITRILE, ARE SUBJECTED TO SHEARING ON A ROLL MILL AND THE THUS SHEARED POLYMER, WHICH HAS 3-DIMENSIONAL CRYSTALLINITY, IS MOLDED INTO ARTICLES HAVING EXCELLENT HEAT DISTORTION AND IMPACT PROPERTIES.
Abstract:
Heat-expandable microspheres with high encapsulation efficiency of a blowing agent and good heat-expansion performance, a process for reproducibly producing the heat-expandable microspheres and application thereof are provided. The heat-expandable microspheres comprise essentially a thermoplastic resin shell and a blowing agent encapsulated therein, and contain not more than 500 ppm of silicon, not more than 350 ppm of aluminum and not more than 600 ppm of the total of the silicon and aluminum. The heat-expandable microspheres retain at least 70% of the blowing agent encapsulated therein at the temperature which is the average of their expansion-initiation temperature and maximum expansion temperature.
